Thanks for the reply halfie. Yeah, W&L is in Lexington, VA and the size of the town definitly works against it. I was rather impressed with possible job opportunities in the Durham area and the Duke people seemed willing to help find a job for spouses/significant others. Of course, Nashville would offer more job opportunties based on its larger size.

Even though I have not heard back on all of my applications I am facing seat deposit deadlines and need to arrive at a decision soon. I wish to stay in the Southeast after law school and regardless of where I go, my wife will need to find a job (she is a social worker). I am certainly tempted by the prestige of Duke, but Vandy, W&L, and UNC are all interesting choices as well. Debt is a concern to me, but not an overriding concern. So do I overlook the debt and attend Duke or do I make a more economically sensible choice and go to one of the other four choices? If you were me and had these choices which would you attend?

I am curious what people thought about the law school, as well as the Nashville area. I visited Vandy back in December of last year, and I will be attending the next Admitted Students day on the 7th of April, but I am interested in hearing what other prospective students think about the school.
